LINGERIE IS A "HIS & HERS" GIFT
LACE, SILK or MESH?
When I was younger, I used to wear lingerie all the time. And yes, I was single then. I loved it. For sure there were curse-word –sort-of-moments when pieces of the fabric would twist tightly in the most awkward places, or a rip appeared out of nowhere…but overall, I loved it. And still do. Here’s why I think you should also. For both women and men…although the benefits for men are pretty straightforward :)
I’ve always had this thing about trying to look the part, even when I didn’t feel the part. We all do it, to some degree. Lingerie made me feel sexy, although I didn’t see myself that way. It made me feel beautiful, desirable and even when I didn’t see the perfect body in the mirror, lingerie made it look so much better. And of course the women who modeled these pieces were stunning, so it was well marketed and ingrained that this was another way to enhance our ‘beauty’.
Whether it worked on me or not, I believe, that we should cherish things that make us happy and have a positive effect on our emotional state-of-being. Lingerie was one for me. And as a younger woman, wearing sexy nightwear to bed, made me start getting more and more comfortable, and aware of my body. And it didn’t seem negative anymore, just, what it was. What I was given. And learned to be so thankful for that.
THAT THIRD LEG is TALKING
Hopefully your man is considerate and doesn’t think physical before emotional and spiritual, but I can say concretely that most men, decent men, don’t care about the extra weight, the stubbles on your legs or unwashed hair (unless it stinks). I can even more definitively say that most men don’t even NOTICE these things, while we rate them as showstoppers to potential intimacy.
Men are generally, highly motivated by imagery that contains sexuality, and with you being right in front of him in your stringy-garb, your doubts are likely to disappear. Quickly.
So, overall, I think women should try to embrace wearing lingerie and become comfortable in their skin. More comfortable, anyway. Know that you are beautiful and strong. Like any other piece of clothing, accessory, hair color…when you find what works for you, it’s like an awakening!
Lingerie is a perfect gift idea for Valentine’s or any other day of the year, for you to enjoy, together. It’s romantic, can be used again and again, and are good investments for you, and your relationship. Lingerie can help boost your self-confidence, decrease inhibitions, provides an escape from those hectic days…and I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have the best sleep in very little clothing. After all is said and done, hubby agrees :)
